Correct.  The pictures show it being towed up the Thames, the special cigar shaped barge, the erection gantry etc and one of the Sphinx's guarding the thing.   Well done.    ZXZ

Another easy, peasy one whilst we are waiting for someone else to think of another quiz item.

Where and what are the questions.

You know you're right.  It is a shot of a familiar place taken from an unusual angle.   As Cliff would say, "Congratulations!"       ZXZ

OK, here goes...

This boat plies its trade in the UK, but does anyone know where?

Yorkie,  I am very impressed by your CORRECT answer to my question.
I thought that one would have had everyone stumped.... but no.

It is all a matter of knowing what to search for and the most appropriate keyword.  Plus the fact that I went to the Broads for many a year with my fishing exploits and considered it as a suitable piece of water for such a vessel rather than a river.  Q.E.D.                 ;D

It also helps when you leave most of the name of the boat visible in the photo!

That was useful to confirm that I actually had the right boat.  Just waiting for the next Quiz item now!     :twoface:
